Closing Theme

Template:Video-broken Template:Infobox OM The "SpongeBob Closing Theme" (alternate titles: "Closing Theme Closing"; "SpongeBob SquarePants Closing Theme"; "SpongeBob SquarePants End Them Theme Closing"; "SpongeBob SquarePants End Theme Closing"; "SpongeBob SquarePants Theme"; "SpongeBob Theme- End Title") was composed by Steve Belfer. As the name suggests, it is used in the end credits of the show. The track has two versions, which have both been used as background music in some episodes. The track usually plays when someone does something repeatedly, or does something silly.

Usage

Version 1

In addition to the below listed instances, this version plays during the ending credits when watching the episodes on most DVD releases, VHS tape releases, digital releases, and streaming services. It is also the menu music for many of the SpongeBob SquarePants DVDs up until Extreme Kah-Rah-Tay.

Version 2

Interestingly enough, this version is always used as background music and has never served as an end credits theme.
